TV viewing figures are not going to be as high as they are now for ever. Not with entertainment technology gatheringnmpace all the time. So TV contracts will not be as valuable. Then you go on a downward spiral. What if Sky says one day, "Nah, we'll give it a miss, that's too much"?
The next tv contract will be interesting. I reckon Sky will pay for staggered kick off times and 100% of the games shown. Once they have this, they will really start dictating all subsequent contracts. Crowds will dwindle due to the inconvenience of kick off times, and games on TV etc.
I don't think they can have 100% of games Chunky. Isn't there a monopolies issue where games have to be shared to different outlets?
I was listening to Simon Jordan the other day who made some very interesting points. He believes the Premier league should start their own streaming platforms and sell the rights to each individual country. He believes income would dwarf what they currently get and make it look like a drop in the ocean. The technology is moving away from conventional TV bidding.
Yeah the monopolies commission ruled that the rights couldn’t just go to one provider.
Ironically sports broadcasting is the one thing you want a monopoly on. Would be much easier just paying one subscription to one company rather than needing Sky, BT and Amazon if you want to watch everything.
